Descripción
1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ Limited 4. 0 es uno de esos clásicos raros que no requieren presentación entre los aficionados a los coches.
The XJ was not just another SUV — it was the model that helped shape the modern SUV concept as we know it today. Its boxy, functional design and legendary 4. 0 inline-six engine have become true automotive icons.
The vehicle offered here is a European-spec (Swiss-delivered) Limited version that has retained its original character and tasteful period-correct appearance. This is not a heavily abused off-road project or a modified trail rig, but a well-preserved and thoroughly refreshed XJ whose value has steadily increased in recent years.
The car is in good technical condition and drives well:
– the legendary 4. 0 petrol engine runs smoothly
– automatic transmission shifts properly
– four-wheel drive system works correctly
– climate control, power windows, lighting and other equipment are functional
Approximately €22, 000 has been invested into the vehicle over the past 2. 5 years.
The work has been documented and invoices are available.

• underbody rust removal, welding repairs and corrosion protection

The vehicle has been regularly maintained by specialist workshops (American Beauty Garage, Carstop, CSG Motors, Heinworks).
The sale also includes accumulated spare parts and an additional set of original alloy wheels.
This is an honest and well-preserved XJ that can be enjoyed as a weekend car, collector’s vehicle or simply driven and appreciated as intended. Truly original and unmodified Cherokee XJs like this are becoming harder to find every year.
